Chapter 389: Plot
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Men with different outlooks thought differently. With his increase in strength, Minghe knew more and more, and he also had more and more doubts. However, he never changed his mind in the pursuit of the Supreme Way. The Fate Realm and the Half Step to the Supreme Realm were already limitations for others, while Minghe sought extraordinary strength like the Great Way, which could suppress inexhaustible Chaos and endless time. Actually, the Eastern Region could restrict him.
Minghe knew that there were numerous experts stronger than him in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, but he was never scared as he was only short on time. Given enough time, he believed that he could have a brighter future than them. Although he was born in the Ninth Period, his cultivation had already surpassed countless men and would surpass even more.
The four elements of cultivation were Resources, Fellows, Laws, and Lands. Minghe lacked Resources the most, so he would like to stay in Yun Ling Academy to make up his shortfall with its abundant deposits. Fellows were Fellow Taoists, Fellow Cultivators, or Taoist partners. Minghe was content with his Three Separations as partners. Laws were laws of cultivation, magic skills, and tactical formations, and so on. He had no shortage of this element. His laws were already clear and did not need to change but only improve. The last element meant Lands of cultivation. Yun Ling Academy happened to meet his demands.
Among the four elements, Minghe knew what he lacked clearly. Certainly, he needed time the most. Only with enough time could he become strong quickly. Due to the Magical Tao Mirror, he was incomparably rapid in cultivation, understanding of the Divine Law, and breaking through the Bottlenecks.
In the rear courtroom of the Elder Palace, Minghe sat cross-legged alone on a seat and Essential Qi surged throughout his entire body. Endless Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and Air of the Divine Law constantly surged into his body, and finally changed into his power. After a long time, he opened his eyes and smiled. He glanced at his Elder Palace and smiled even more.
In Yun Ling Academy, the Elders were the most respected men aside from Venerable Linghao, who was the Director of the Academy, so the Elders could enjoy better resources than others. The academy was built on the few dragon veins in the area, and the Elder Palace was located at their head, so the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and the Air of the Divine Law were several times more intense than that in the outside world.
Actually, the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth could also be found everywhere in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. The only difference was their density. When a man reached the Fate Realm, the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth was secondary to the Air of the Divine Law. In the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, the Air of the Divine Law was far more precious than the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth. Any place with dense Air of the Divine Law had to be contested by many powers.
If a man wanted to improve his strength after reaching the Fate Realm, the main thing to rely on was his realm, rather than supernatural power and cultivation. When he reached a certain realm, he would naturally be slow to catch on to the Great Way. A lot of people could not break through to a Small Realm after millions upon millions of years.
The Air of the Divine Law was very useful. It had no attribute and did not belong to any of 3,000 Great Ways. Through absorption and conversion of the very special air, cultivators could speed up their understanding of the Great Way. The more Air of the Divine Law that there was, the faster the understanding of the Great Way would be.
Minghe learned a lot of information from the eighth floor of the library. He was especially interested in the Air of the Divine Law. In the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, Spiritual Stones containing the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and Air of the Divine Law were mainstream currency. Based on the density of the Air of the Divine Law, Spiritual Stones were divided into four grades, which were Low Grade, Mid Grade, Top Grade, and Highest Grade.
Above the Spiritual Stones, there was a more special currency, named Sky Crystals. They were very pure and made up of the Air of the Divine Law. All Sky Crystals had the same grade but had different sizes. To facilitate the transaction, each Sky Crystal unit was one kilogram. However, the Sky Crystals were so precious that a block of Sky Crystals could not be found in the entire Eastern Region.
It was recorded like this, but Minghe knew that even if there was one block of Sky Crystals, no one would take it out. After all, it was a supreme treasure for cultivators to enhance their cultivation, so people hardly revealed it. Moreover, if someone broke open the dragon veins beneath Yun Ling Academy, they might find one, but nobody would do this.
At the thought of this, Minghe was increasingly looking forward to traveling to the Central Region. From the Jade Slip, he knew some information about the Central Region. The Medium Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons was seemingly endless. People of the four worlds of Chaos entered the four regions separately. The four regions were very large, but actually, they were smaller than half of the Central Region.
In terms of air density, the places with the thinnest Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and Air of the Divine Law in the Central Region were beyond most places of the four regions. Thus, it could be seen that the Central Region was a place more suitable for cultivation than the four regions. Compared with the four regions, there were many more treasures of Heaven and Earth in the Central Region, but likewise, there was more killing and deaths.
Obviously, he would not be successful in the Central Region if he only relied on the Law of Weapons-refining. A powerful strength was the best guarantee, so this time, the Mystery Territory of Earth was of vital importance for him. Although any progress in strength could not be realized overnight, if one could master a powerful formation, it would be the best card to have.
Although fighting was not allowed in the Mystery Territory of Earth, it would not be peaceful outside of that place. After all, if someone did not get what he wanted, he would try to snatch another's Fated Chance. Since the world was called the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, it was obviously a place fraught with danger.
If the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons was a harbor for novices in every period, the four regions of the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons would be a transitional zone. After entering the Central Region, it was the real Battlefield of Gods and Demons, which was a world full of limitless Fated Chances and killing. It was much crueler than the small Mystery Territory of Earth.
Minghe was not worried about the potential dangers. In the Eastern Region, a man at the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm was already an expert. Although he only reached the Early Stage of the Fate Realm, his fighting ability was not inferior to that of an expert at the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm. Only those who reached the Late Stage of the Fate Realm or above could really threaten him. However, there was no such an expert in the Eastern Region.
Although there was no such person in the Eastern Region, it would be a great threat to him if such a person came here from the Central Region, so he had to keep alert. He would not pin his comfort on uncertainties. If he did, he would just die earlier.
If he wanted to be able to confront all the uncertainties, Minghe needed to improve his strength. However, he was short on resources. Even though he was an Elder of Yun Ling Academy and enjoyed the proper treatment, the resources were insufficient for him. Whether it was for the growth of the human body or the practice of the Divine Law, Minghe needed plenty of scarce and valuable resources.
At the thought of this, he could not help focusing on the Elder Palace, where seven other elders sat. The seven halls of the academy had existed for a long time, which could be called deep-rooted. Previously, they inquired about his plans to ensure that there would be no accidents in Yun Ling Academy in the Eastern Region. Actually, even if he had ambitions in the Eastern Region, he could not create a disturbance.
Yun Ling Academy had been established for hundreds of millions of years. In all those endless years, only the seven halls stood erect, so it could be seen that they had a profound foundation. Based on his current strength, Minghe could not provoke any incidents in the academy. Even if he did it deliberately, it might only last for one hour and would disappear at any moment.
Nowadays, the seven halls controlled the resources for cultivation that Minghe required. If he continued to exchange contributions for resources, it might delay his cultivation. Meanwhile, he could not obtain sufficient and efficient resources for cultivation of the Fate Realm. Perhaps most of those types of precious resources were controlled by the power of the seven halls.
If he wanted to obtain these precious resources from their hands, Minghe had to pay the price. After thinking it over and over again, he deemed that he could only get his desirables from Elder Jiangwu of the Torture Hall and Elder Hongquan of the Secret Hall because they had no Spiritual Treasures of Chaos, which was an opportunity for him.
The Torture Hall was responsible for rewards and punishment in the academy. As the Elder of the Torture Hall, Elder Jiangwu had the best cultivation among the seven elders. Unfortunately, his Spiritual Treasure of Chaos was destroyed more than 100,000 years ago when he fought with an Ominous Beast of Chaos at the Early Stage of the Fate Realm. Until now, he still did not have a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, so he declined in status recently.
The Secret Hall was the weakest among the seven halls, but it was indispensable. It was in charge of dealing with information, including the Treasures of Heaven and Earth, Mystery Realm, and so on. Nothing that existed could escape its notice. Therefore, although it was the weakest among the seven halls, it was the most mysterious. Elder Hongquan also had no Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, which was an opportunity for him.
Although Venerable Linghao, who was the Director of the Academy, and Elder Zhongnan, who was the Elder of the Weapon Hall, could refine Spiritual Treasures of Chaos, now Elder Jiangwu and Elder Hongquan still had no Spiritual Treasures of Chaos. Moreover, other Elders only had one Spiritual Treasure of Chaos respectively, which was not powerful enough. It thus appeared that the others feared and were suppressed by the two people.
